dc-tower one  // wien donau-city

donau-city is one of the most interesting new development areas in vienna. the new high-rises dominate the city skyline from many points and also offer something different from the omnipresent k.u.k. architecture.

the architecture of the dc tower 1 looks like an obsidian wedge or a spaceship that has landed on the planet austria.

architects: dominique perrault & hoffmann-janz architekten

completion: 2013

film: ilford hp5 plus  

camera: canon a-1 with canon fd 28m

Liberty Bridge over the Danube, Budapest - (Szabadság-híd a Dunán, Budapest), 2024.

After an enlightening, exhausting and very hot (over 40 degrees C on several days) trip to Central Europe, I am home for a few days before leaving for the West Coast. I shall try to queue some photos for the next couple of weeks, though I have all too many other things I should deal with.

Budapest is a fascinating place, an Imperial City with an unparalleled collection of architecture from the late medieval period to the present. Like Paris, Budapest makes the most of its riverfront, so a walk along the riverside brings all kinds of wondrous things into view. The Liberty Bridge was built in the 1890s and was originally named in honor of Emperor Franz Josef. It remains one of the most impressive of the several fine bridges across the Danube - Dunán - Duanj - Donau to use four of the several names the great river is given.

Goddess Danu 'Tuatha Dè Danann'

Danu, Great Mother Dana, Anu, Ana, Anann, Danand, Dôn (Wales), Danuvius (Roman), Duna (Hungarian), Donau (German)

Danu is an ancient Irish triple goddess who is considered the “Great Mother” of Ireland.

She is the Mother of the Irish gods and faery people, the Tuatha Dé Danann , which literally means the “People of the Goddess Danu”.

Danu means knowledge, wisdom, wealth and abundance. However her name is also connected to water, and could mean ‘the flowing one’.

Danu is thought to have married Bilé and was the mother of the Dagda, the chief leader of the Tuatha Dé Danann. In other myths, she is known as the daughter or lover of the Dagda.

Her other children included Nuada, Dian Cécht, Ogma, Airmid, Etan, Miach, Cian/Kian, Sawan and Goibhniu.

Because of the similarities in correspondences, Danu has been associated with other goddesses, including Anu, the Universal Mother, and the Morrigan, the goddess of war.

Danu is also very similar to the Welsh goddess Dôn, who is the mother figure of the medieval tales in the Mabinogion.

Danu was also sometimes associated with Brigid, the daughter of the Dagda.

It is thought through her association with water, the River Danube was named after her.

Also, there are two round-topped hills in County Kerry, Ireland, called Da Chich Anu/Anann (the Paps of Anu), thought to represent the two breasts of Danu/Anu.

Danu has a strong connection to the land and water. She is a goddess of fertility, bounty, plenty, prosperity, wind, rivers, water, wells, wisdom, and inspiration.

Some of Danu’s symbols include holy stones, horses, seagulls, fish, amber, gold, flowing water, air, wind, earth, moon, keys and crowns.

Danu reminds us that we are capable of realizing our own dreams, empowering us to create our own destiny.
